The Rev. Billy Graham was laid to rest Tuesday following a funeral that featured rousing music along with heartfelt words from his adult children in the culmination of more than a week of tributes to “America’s Pastor.”

Mourners began to converge on the Billy Graham Library in Charlotte, North Carolina, early Friday morning, hours before the noon service.

The Rev. Franklin Graham, who now is CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, delivered the main funeral address for his father, urging mourners to accept salvation, after shorter messages from Billy Graham’s three daughters and younger son.

He said, “the Billy Graham that the world saw on television, the Billy Graham that the world saw in the big stadium was the same Billy Graham that we saw at home. There weren’t two Billy Grahams.”

“I believe, from Heaven’s perspective, that my father’s death is as significant as his life. And his life was very significant. But I think when he died that was something very strategic from Heaven’s point of view,” said his daughter Anne Graham Lotz, later adding: “I believe God is saying: ‘Wake up church! Wake up world!’”

The casket of The Rev. Billy Graham is moved during a funeral service at the Billy Graham Library for the Rev. Billy Graham, who died last week at age 99, Friday, March 2, 2018, in Charlotte, N.C.

The 90-minute service featured songs from gospel musicians who performed at Graham’s events: Linda McCrary-Fisher, Michael W. Smith and the Gaither Vocal Band. They are all friends who sang for Graham at his home in recent years, according to family spokesman Mark DeMoss.

President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump, along with Vice President Mike Pence and Second Lady Karen Pence were among the 2,000 people in attendance. Other notable guests included North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper. His immediate predecessor, Pat McCrory, was already in the tent hours before the service and doing commentary for a radio station.

After the funeral service, Billy Graham was buried next to his wife Ruth in a memorial prayer garden at the library, with his grandchildren serving as pallbearers. His casket was made of pine by inmates at the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola. The grave marker reads: “Preacher of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.”

The funeral served as the culmination of more than a week of tributes that included crowds lining the road for a procession from his home in the mountains to Charlotte, where Graham grew up.

The body of Rev. Billy Graham is carried into the Capitol Rotunda on Feb. 28, 2018.

Approximately 13,000 people — including former presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton — filed past his casket during a public viewing in Charlotte this week. On Wednesday, Graham became the first private citizen since civil rights icon Rosa Parks in 2005 to lie in honor at the Capitol Rotunda in Washington.

Graham, who died Feb. 21 at the age of 99, brought a message of salvation to millions during visits and live broadcasts to scores of countries.
